Brit in Hot Water by Flunking Drug Test, Bad Driving

A source connected to Britney Spears tells TMZ that one of Brit's drug tests has come back positive, but the source claims she actually passed. The source maintains it was a false reading.

Meanwhile, K-Fed's lawyer has contacted TMZ, telling us he will subpoena a story we aired about Britney running a red light. Kaplan wants the tape for an unscheduled court appearance on Wednesday.

The story, which ran Friday on TMZ TV, shows Britney -- her kids in the backseat and the court-appointed monitor in the front -- blowing a red light at an extremely dangerous intersection Thursday night on her way home. A close look at the video shows that she held her cell phone up to her face just seconds before running the light -- it appears she's texting.



Kaplan has already asked the judge to prohibit Spears from driving with the kids in the car. Commissioner Scott Gordon is set to rule on that motion on November 26. The latest development could accelerate that decision. The Commish has been troubled by Spears' driving -- the incident Thursday night could jeopardize her visitation.

76. Maybe if TMZ wasn't always running cameras everywhere...
Brit would still have her kids.
That's just great that you caught her making that turn.
Pat your selves on the back...while you turn someone's life upside down.
Maybe it's time for TMZ to lay off Brit a bit.

77. Get your stories and pictures straight. You say there was a court appointed person in the front seat but in this picture there is clearly nobdy in the front passenger seat.
If Britney did run a red light I am sure it is on tape and she will be punished for it.

78. I dont agree....at all with this running of the red light being Britney's fault...
No matter how many times I watch it the PAPS are totally at fault..I think the fact that Kaplan and tmz trade info is disgusting, considering tmz are profiting off her mental breakdown.
But... hey whatever will get her off the road and indoors playing, as she should with those two beautiful BOYS. Im all for it, she does not listen even when she is forced to, its her own fault.

79. 74 -- It's hard to see but follow the line of the passenger seat belt left to right and you should see something -- part of a back? -- that is the monitor ducking low down in her seat.

On another subject, is it the source's opinion that this failed drug test was a false positive or is this the opinion of the lab who did the test? If Spears is smart, she has been having other independent testing all along, and if not, now is the time for her to get a battery of tests. A failed test, more than the driving incident, is of real concern.

80. I'm going to say that probably a number of you have been in serious accidents,10% have Dui's, 90% have at least 1 infraction, 95% have never driven in LA traffic and 99.9% have never even sat behind the wheel with camera flashes going off, let alone try to drive, Or as is starting to come out, had a court appointed monitor hollering, go, go, go! ducked down in the passenger seat at a red light in the dark with flashes going off. The cell phone had to be to protect her eyes from all the glare of the cameras,as I really don't think even Britney could text and drive under those conditions, Point being Britney is a Better driver than most people.
O' next time you get close to a moving car, stick your foot under a wheel, it doesn't matter who is driving.

81. The numbering just seemed to change. My comment about the front seat passenger is for poster #73 who said -- You say there was a court appointed person in the front seat but in this picture there is clearly nobdy in the front passenger seat.

82. I don't care what you do for a living, you get up early when your babies wake up and you take care of them. You stay home, feed them, play with them, snuggle with them, take them outdoors for fresh air. You make sacrifices. You get to know them. Britney has proven she is all about Britney. Selfish and undeserving of those two children!

Look closer at the photo. You can just see the very top of the court monitor's head. She's ducking way down in the seat, presumably because a) she didn't want to stare death in the face or b) she doesn't want photos of herself on the internet so Britards can march outside her home yelling "SPY" and "LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE".

85. Maybe she would staighten up if everyone would just leave her alone. She is a human being for crying out loud!! Leave her alone and let her get her life back together.Britney avoid the paps and fight for them babies!!!

86. I haven't watched the video, as my time is really worth something. But, was her car surrounded? Was she being closely followed? And I thought the Court appointed Monitor had to be with her at all times? There is no way, she is not in that car.
God. BritBrit, stay home with those kids and just stop with all this. No one wants to watch you behaving like this.
It is horrid watching this day after day. I thought Mama Spears and her were talking? I really wish Mama and Daddy Spears would get together and do some intervention with her.

88. 73

The monitor is ducking in the front seat. You can clearly see this in pictures posted yesterday on other sites.

89. Maybe she could be a good mother but right now she sucks at it. Knowing that the paps are everywhere, why not keep the boys in one of those estates she owns? They are children and being children they are easily amused. I'm sure she can find something they can all do without putting them in danger. She can run her errands when she doesn't have them.

Even if the light turned while she was going through the intersection, there's no reason for that cell phone to be in her hands. That court appointed person should've taken from her and beat her upside her head with it. Good mother my ass!!!
